Quenton Jackson Injury News & Updates

Jackson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings.

Jackson continues to be sidelined by a right hamstring strain, which has prevented him from playing in a regular-season game since Nov. 3 against the Bucks. He has progressed enough in his recovery to ramp up his practice activity, which gives him a chance to return Friday against the 76ers.

Head coach Rick Carlisle said Jackson (hamstring) did some work at Sunday's practice, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

The 27-year-old guard hasn't played since Nov. 3 due to a right hamstring strain, though he appears to be trending in the right direction. While Dopirak relayed that Jackson will "probably" remain on the shelf against the Kings on Monday, he should be considered day-to-day moving forward. If he's ultimately ruled out for Monday, his next chance to return will come Friday against the 76ers.

Jackson (hamstring) will remain on the inactive list for Monday's game against the Cavs.

Jackson still isn't practicing and continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of tip-off, which suggests he's not close. He should be considered week-to-week until the Pacers offer a timetable for his return.

Jackson (hamstring) will remain on the inactive list for Saturday's game versus the Raptors.

Jackson is set to miss his sixth straight game Saturday, and the Pacers have not provided any updates on his recovery from the hamstring injury. Until he's cleared for 5-on-5 work, we can assume he's not close and will consider him week-to-week.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said that Jackson (hamstring) will be out for "a while," as he's set to miss at least the next five games for Indiana, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports.

Carlisle said that Jackson, who has already been ruled out for Wednesday's game, will skip the Pacers' upcoming four-game road trip. Carlisle also acknowledged that Jackson's absence could extend beyond the road trip, so if you grabbed him after his big game, now would be the time to return Jackson to the waiver wire.

Jackson (hamstring) will not play Wednesday against the Nets.

Jackson officially has a strain after leaving Monday's 117-115 loss to the Bucks. It's not clear how long he'll be sidelined for, but hamstring injuries can linger if not treated carefully. Ben Sheppard and RayJ Dennis could see more minutes in the meantime for Indiana.

Jackson went straight back to the locker room after tweaking his hamstring Monday, and given the tricky nature of these injuries, it wouldn't be shocking if he needed to skip Wednesday's game in Brooklyn. If he does need to miss time, that could allow Ben Sheppard to return to the starting five.

Jackson is questionable to return to Monday's game against Milwaukee due to right hamstring soreness, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Jackson departed the matchup in the third quarter and went immediately to the locker room for further evaluation. RayJ Dennis and Taelon Peter would presumably be asked to step up if Jackson can't return.

Jackson logged 25 points (10-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 114-109 win over the Warriors.

Jackson impressed in his second straight start, putting up season highs in points, rebounds, assists and steals. He shot the basketball with efficiency and also led his team in assists on the way to his first double-double of the 2025-26 campaign. Opportunities should continue to be there for Jackson until Andrew Nembard (shoulder) is ready to return from injury.

Jackson will start in Friday's game against the Hawks.

With the Pacers' backcourt plagued by injuries, the two-way player will get the starting nod over Ben Sheppard. Jackson has appeared in two regular-season games thus far, averaging 6.0 points and 2.5 rebounds in 13.5 minutes per game off the bench.

Jackson (hamstring) tallied four points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds across 10 minutes in Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Timberwolves.

Heading into Sunday, the Pacers were down seven players due to injury, but the return of Jackson from a two-game absence helped provide a bit of reinforcement. Though Indiana had an acute need for backcourt help in particular, Jackson was still eased in with a light workload for his season debut after he hadn't played since straining his right hamstring in an Oct. 11 preseason contest. With point guard Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) looking likely to miss additional time, Jackson could be a candidate to see his minutes rise as he becomes further removed from the hamstring injury, but he'll also have to fend off fellow two-way players RayJ Dennis and Taelon Peter (groin) for playing time.

Jackson (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

Jackson was trending toward playing and is now officially set to make his season debut after missing time with a hamstring injury. It's unclear whether he'll start, but he's expected to share point guard duties with RayJ Dennis, while Ben Sheppard should also see increased backcourt usage with Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) and Bennedict Mathurin (foot) sidelined.

Jackson (hamstring) is probable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Jeremiah Johnson of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana reports.

Jackson has yet to appear this season while recovering from a hamstring injury but seems poised to make his 2025-26 debut Sunday. The Pacers may look to ease him back into action, though with several backcourt injuries -- including T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) and Bennedict Mathurin (foot) -- he could see an uptick in opportunities right away.

Jackson (hamstring) won't be available for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports.

Jackson had 21 points (7-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and four steals over 40 minutes during Sunday's 126-118 double-overtime victory over Cleveland.

Jackson posted the second-best scoring performance of his career, and also posted a career-high four steals. The Pacers were without several key rotation players Sunday, allowing Jackson to see an extended workload. In 28 regular-season appearances, Jackson finished the campaign with averages of 5.8 points, 1.9 assists, 1.6 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.5 three-pointers in 13.6 minutes.

Jackson logged five points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and two steals over 14 minutes during Monday's 121-103 loss to Chicago.

Jackson has logged double digit minutes in his last two games, as Tyrese Haliburton sat out a third straight game due to a hip injury Monday. Jackson has struggled with his shot with a 3-of-12 mark from the field, but in 27 total minutes during that stretch, he has produced a combined eight assists and three steals. He still has a lot of work to do to emerge on the radar of most fantasy formats.

Jackson is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Bulls, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Jackson will return to the bench due to the return of Andrew Nembhard to the first unit. The former Texas A&M standout is averaging 4.7 points and 1.1 rebounds per game when coming off the bench, so his fantasy upside will undoubtedly take a hit since he won't be in the lineup.

Jackson finished with 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 114-110 victory over the Pelicans.

Jackson was coming off a scoreless dud against the Wizards on Sunday, but responded with his second best performance of his rookie season. Fantasy managers probably shouldn't look at him as anything more than a short-term streamer in deeper leagues, as the Pacers are expecting Aaron Nesmith (ankle) and Andrew Nembhard (knee) back in December.

Jackson amassed 24 points (10-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 loss to the Rockets.

Jackson moved into the starting lineup for the first time this season, going off for a season-high 24 points. The Pacers are without a number of regular guards, affording Jackson with a great opportunity. While he was able to capitalize, keep in mind he had scored a total of just 28 points in six games to begin the campaign. As a player who is not even a consistent part of the rotation, we would need to see a lot more of this before declaring him a reliable asset.

Jackson will make the first start of his three-year NBA career Wednesday, replacing Jarace Walker in a depleted Indiana wing rotation that's missing Ben Sheppard (oblique), Aaron Nesmith (ankle) and Andrew Nembhard (knee). Jackson is averaging 4.7 points across 11.8 minutes per game in his six appearances this season.

The Pacers signed Jackson to a two-way pact Friday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Jackson will return to the Pacers after signing his original two-way contract with the club in March. The 27-year-old appeared in only three games for the team last season, during which he averaged 0.7 points and 1.3 rebounds. However, Jackson played nine games for the Indiana Mad Ants, and he averaged 22.3 points, 5.4 assists and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 55.6 percent from the field.

Jackson has been a standout for the Windy City Bulls in the G League, averaging 17.1 points, 5.7 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 2.5 turnovers. He'll likely be a key contributor for the Mad Ants going forward.

Jackson was waived by the Bulls on Monday.

Jackson joined Chicago on an Exhibit 10 contract in early September but was unable to secure a spot on the final roster. However, it's possible he winds up in the G League for the start of the 2023-24 campaign.

The Bulls signed Jackson to an Exhibit 10 contract Friday, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Jackson made nine appearances for Washington in 2022 and averaged 6.2 points and 1.7 assists in 15.0 minutes. Jackson's Exhibit 10 deal can easily be converted into a two-way contract, allowing him to split time between the NBA and G League.

The Wizards waived Jackson on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Jackson, a 2022 UDFA, appeared in nine NBA contests with the Wizards while under a two-way deal last year, averaging 6.2 points and 1.7 assists in 15.0 minutes per game. Washington traded Bradley Beal this offseason but added Jordan Poole, Tyus Jones, Landry Shamet and Bilal Coulibaly to a backcourt that also features former lottery picks Deni Avdija, Johnny Davis and Corey Kispert, so it's not surprising to see Jackson as the odd man out. The Texas A&M product will look for a new opportunity ahead of the 2023-24 campaign, but he'll likely have to settle for a G League deal.

Jackson supplied 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 134-116 loss to Atlanta.

Jackson has now supplied 10 points in back-to-back contests. Marking just his sixth and seventh appearances of the NBA season, Jackson hasn't showcased much scoring efficiency, but he brings incredible pace and attacks the rim for Washington.

The Wizards are signing Jackson to a two-way contract on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Jackson is averaging 14.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.5 steals in 25.4 minutes across 17 games for the Capital City Go-Go of the G League this season. As Portland doesn't have a G League affiliate, Jackson will likely split time between the Trail Blazers and Go-Go.

Jackson was waived by the Wizards on Saturday, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Given Jackson was on an Exhibit 10 deal, he'll likely land in the G League. He played just nine preseason minutes, but in his 53 Summer League minutes, he totaled 37 points, six steals, three rebounds and three assists.
